In this study, we Received 30 January 2020 investigated the harm associated with the type of relationship between Accepted 3 August 2020 aggressed and aggressor with an international sample of over 5,000 students KEYWORDS aged 11-16, living in 12 nations. Best friends and individuals with whom the Peer relations; peer respondent had no relationship were the least likely to engage in aggression, aggression; friendship; harm; while one-third of peer aggression could be attributed to friends (not best adolescence; relational friends), and classmates/peers. Greater harm was experienced between best aggression friends only when it involved relational aggression, such as spreading rumors and being left out. Harm from aggression varied by world location and number of different experiences of aggression, while gender and age differ- ences were inconsistent. Intervention programs could take advantage of the vital role that friends play as socializing agents during adolescence that focus on the harmfulness of aggression undertaken in the guise of a joke. Peer aggression is a pervasive experience in young people's lives, but little is known about whether the relationship between aggressed and aggressor is related to the harm experienced. In this study we sought to clarify the complex phenomenon of peer aggression by considering the level of harm according to the relationship with the aggressor. (In this study we do not use the terms victim or perpetrator because not all peer aggression is harmful. Some peer aggression can be playful and harmless banter (Skrzypiec et al., 2019) and an individual becomes a victim when peer aggression is intentionally harmful. Similarly, an aggressor may be termed a perpetrator when their aggression is intended to harm.) Our study focused on adolescent relationships. During adolescence a young person generally interacts with a group of friends often characterized by a hierarchy (Pattiselanno et al., 2015) where aggression may be used by some individuals to establish, maintain and influence the peer group (Cillessen & Mayeux, 2007).
